Question

Describe a way in which you (or someone you know) have been conditioned to act/react a certain way (in a classical conditioning sense). Identify each component of the example (unconditioned stimulus, conditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, and conditioned response)

Answer 1

• I have been conditioned to start feeling hungry as soon as the clock strikes 9,and dinner is served by my mother.Right from childhood,this response has been encouraged and now in adulthood finally conditioned.
• The smell of the food being unconditioned stimulus intially,a feeling of hunger in response to smell being the unconditioned response before conditioning. After conditioning,My mom's voice became the conditioned stimulus and the feeling of hunger became the conditined response.Everytime mom calls and says "come on the table",we know its time to eat and the feeling of hunger starts to develop.
